Dr. Shock: Lessons Learned from Socket

Said support groups will join hands and share a jolt via a miniature generator.

Lightning strikes will turn a slob into a neat freak, a sex fiend, and eventually a killer.

Pray that the doctor who attends to you at an emergency room does not have a surgically implanted electrical plug in his arm.

Electricity freaks have great sex!

The main character in this film seems to have not paid his cable bill as all of his TV's just play static ... and yes, this is a nod to both Poltergeist and Videodrome.

A low budget does not necessarily mean a bad movie: Socket proves this. Even though the film makers could not go full throttle with this Cronenberg-like venture, it is still a fantastic and disturbing film.

Gay characters can be in a film, and their sexuality can be secondary to the plot ... who'd have thunk it?

Derek Long and Matthew Montgomery are not only decent actors (Long plays Dr. Matthews the film's lead - and Montgomery plays the intern/co-dependent love interest), but are hotter than Georgia asphalt once they start doing the nasty on screen!

About This Blog

I love horror films, been watching them all of my life.
As a gay man, I've come to note the more homo-erotic subtext in many of these films. From the obvious in films like, Interview With the Vampire, to the more subtle in movies like, Scream.
So, what I intend to do with this blog, is, from time to time, highlight a movie that is both scary as well as sensual,(or just plain campy) provided those elements are borne of gay or lesbian sensibilities.
